Upskilling in other industries
We often hear about the importance of learning new skills in the software industry, whether it's for staying relevant or advancing in one's career. Do other fields like Doctors, civil engineers, or bank employees 😀 also focus on upgrading their professionals' skills? And if they do, do they have to put in as much effort as we the software engineers put in? 🤔
I know many doctors personally and they all read encyclopedia size books everyday from past 20-30 years now to upskill themselves. They attend trainings seminars to upskill their surgerical ways and new medicines. Lawyers keep reading all the time all the judgements, news and topics to have a vast understanding.
Everyone does!

Those who want to stay relevant in the market and/or ahead of others in the market need to update.
Approx 12-15 years ago, all eye specialists in my hometown were using older techniques to remove cataracts
Then young specialists came with laser technique, some of the existing learnt and applied and some chose to retire or retire early.
Another example is how vegetable/fruit/tea vendors and shopkeepers accept digital payment even if they might not have completed schooling as well.
In short, upskilling is needed everywhere but we might not feel like it as grass always seems greener in the other side.
